When should you hire a driveway and paving contractor?
Call a paving contractor when a driveway is cracked, sunken or weed-ridden, you want to widen parking, or you are creating a new patio. Front-garden surfaces also need to manage rainwater, so drainage should be part of the plan from the start.
How to choose a driveway and paving contractor
There is no single mandatory body, but look for manufacturer-accredited installers such as the Marshalls Register or Brett Approved, and Interlay for block paving. TrustMark registration is a good general signal. Check that the design uses a permeable surface or proper drainage, as this is often required by planning rules for front gardens.
What affects the cost
Driveway and patio prices vary a lot by surface and groundworks, so get a written quote. Factors include:
- Area and surface type (resin, block or tarmac)
- Groundworks and sub-base preparation
- Drainage requirements
- Removing the old surface
- Access and site conditions
Frequently asked questions
Do I need planning permission for a new driveway?
Often not, if you use a permeable surface or provide for rainwater to drain within your property. Non-permeable surfaces over five square metres draining to the road may need permission.
Which lasts longer, resin or block paving?
Both last well when installed properly on a sound sub-base. Block paving allows individual repairs; resin gives a smooth, weed-resistant finish. The right choice depends on look, use and budget.
How long does a driveway take to install?
Most domestic driveways take several days to a couple of weeks, depending on size, groundworks and drainage.
